Ramos defeated Tristan Sponseller of Lock Haven 8-5 to capture the 197-pound championship. It was SU's first title since Steve Fittery did the trick nine years ago.

Sponseller was the aggressor on his feet, but Ramos proved to be an excellent counter wrestler, scoring one in the first period, one in the last few seconds of the second period to take a 4-2 lead, and another in the third period to seal the victory. He also had an escape and a point for riding time.

Cole Rush (133) was the only other Ship placewinner, taking sixth place.

Norton wins X-C award: Shippensburg senior Casey Norton was named the PSAC Cross Country Athlete of the Year recently, as voted by the league coaches.

Spence earns double honor: Steve Spence, the cross country coach for Shippensburg University, was recently named the PSAC Men's and Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year.

The award was not a surprise - SU's teams each won the PSAC and NCAA Regional team titles for the8-9 second time in school history. In his 19-year career, Spence has garnered sixth PSAC women's awards and five for the men.
